Went a little out of my comfort zone today, but I feel like $100 was a deal for these three. Gold medal popcorn warmer, cigar vendor, and a clock. Any insight on these? I've seen the warmers around, seems complete, but haven't tested it yet. I need to dig into the cigar machine to see a brand, but doesn't seem too old, maybe 70s/80s? It's complete and works. I thought the clock was cool because it's a defunct beer company out of Colorado that is now making a comeback. It lights up. The guy had a bunch of other clocks and lights (mostly budweiser) as his step-dad used to have a bar.

Yep, that price for all three...sweet deal.  Does the cigar machine rotate around then vend?

Yes, I know I got out of there with a good deal.

Does the cigar machine rotate around then vend?

It has a knob at top that you spin around to select the cigar type (there's four sides). When you put a quarter in, there's an arm attached to the end of the vend mechanism with a metal clasp that looks to be about 2/3 the size of a normal cigar. I assume that it grabs a cigar from the bottom by pinching it with that clasp. There's a small box inside to add water for maintaining the humidity.

Not and expert here but I have seen them vary between $250 -$500.  Some of the PopCorn Sez have sold a for bit more.  There are 3 or 4 models that look very similar all having a little different prices!

Key on these is that the plexi top is good. Very hard part to source. PCS may be repopped. Don"t know.

Yeah, I remember seeing a similar warmer when I was in Texas a few years ago and a guy wanted $200 for it. He wasn't sure if it was working, it was in worse shape, and it was missing the plexi top. I scoured for weeks online to find a top, but learned that they were just about impossible to find.

Thanks. There is one not far from me that's been for sale for a while. That's why I asked. It looks similar.
